yeah, i saw this one, too (while watching football, believe it or not. has to be irony somewhere in there). the bit about jazz bothered me more than the implication that women are dumb, but then again, it's not like i could take the latter one personally...
I have no doubt that someone was being ironic--the people at DDB Chicago aren't stoopid--but to me this is more of the anti-intellectualism that has gotten us into so much trouble. Like, it's good to be dumb. It's cute to be dumb. It's bad to be smart. Smart is suspicious and may even be unpatriotic. But I rant.
